About our toilet chip repair in Gillingham
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Gillingham?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
For a price in Gillingham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Gillingham questions
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
